Man, and as soon as other cable and DSL companies start moving and start rolling out 6M service it'll take Charter 1-2 years to catch up Always one step behind the competition.

In my area when ??

People need to remember that the different Time Warner franchises across the country operate independently of one another.

Re: mn

Makes me wonder if RR has been nuilding this up for a while. Their speed rating numbers for the Phoenix and San Diego area had been abnormally higher than avergae for quite a while before the announcement.

There are also quite a few other companies operating cable networks with higher bandwidth (OOL for example). Hopefully this forces the rest of the cable operators to take notice.

I'm holding an advertisement a customer of ours in SC received from Time Warner/RR for "Business Class" broadband that offers all the way up to 6.0/2.0 for $999.95/mo! Expensive, but compare to a 1.5/1.5 DS1 circuit and the price is favorable. From experience though I'd have to give the nod to the T-1 over the cable in the rock-solid department though...

Take note, Adelphia.

That service (in terms of bandwidth) beats the hell out of the package adelphia offers: 4000/512 @ $90!

Oh yea, hopefully Adelphia upgrades to these speeds (or beyond).

Exactly. San Antonio most likely rolled this out to say they offer a speed as fast as the SBC DSL 6Mbit plan.

Most likely this will not be seen anywhere else outside of the SBC service area.

Huh? Phoenix & San Diego are CoxHSI territory - and rest assured not enjoying any panacea of connectivity.

Yes they do but speeds role out across the country at different times. I contacted RoadRunner Customer Service/Tier 2 for my area and they told me if those services are starting to be released in other areas to expect them in other areas by the end of the year.

But also SA does not have anything on their web site about these speeds at all like the other TWC areas.

Exactly. TW offered this service in SA because it is SBC's hometown. This is about as useful (outside of SA) as a campaign promise....
